Canadian Universities Tuition Fees

In this article, I’m going to provide a full list of Canadian universities tuition fees, but before I do this, will like to talk about the cost of living in Canada as a student, scholarship opportunities and many more things.

Cost of living in Canada

Cost of living in Canada as a student depends on the lifestyle of the student, but let’s hear what a student who studied in Canada had to say about this:

On Campus: I paid around $3400 a semester for housing and around $2700 for food while I lived on campus. If you do the math, living on campus as a foreign student costs about $1500 a month.

Off Campus: I’ve also lived off campus, and my rent was $450 a month, with food costs of about $160 + $70. (extras). As a result, being off campus usually costs about $700.

It’s likely that you won’t be able to find a more expensive house or that you’ll spend more on food than I do, causing the price to rise. In any case, living off campus is less costly than living on campus.

From this student’s analysis you can now figure out the cost of living in Canada as a student.

Scholarships in Canada

Canadian government and universities in Canada give out lots of awards to help international students, let’s take a look at some of them:

Banting postdoctoral fellowships: International students pursuing postgraduate studies in the natural and social sciences, as well as health research, may apply for Canadian government scholarships and fellowships.
Vanier Canada graduate scholarships: Doctoral students from around the world may apply for scholarships from the Canadian government to study at a participating university in Canada.
Canada Memorial Scholarships: British postgraduate students can apply for full scholarships to study at any approved Canadian higher education institution, covering tuition, airfares, and other expenses. The 2019 round is now closed; stay tuned for the 2020 round later this year.
Hec Montreal Scholarships: At HEC Montréal, international students will apply for a variety of merit and need-based Canadian scholarships, as well as mobility scholarships.

These are a few of the many scholarships given to students in Canada. You can click on the links and get more information about these scholarships.

Work and study in Canada

Working while studying in Canada is one of the many benefits of choosing Canada as your study destination, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you start earning.

Without a work permit, most foreign students in Canada can work up to 20 hours per week and full-time during scheduled breaks. Working while studying will help you support yourself and meet new people while also allowing you to develop the connections and experience that will help you stand out in the future job market.

Work and study requirements

International students enrolled full-time in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada with a study permit can work off campus without a work permit. This means you can work anywhere in Canada with any employer in any profession. If they wish, international students will work on campus.

Working off campus entails working for a company that is not affiliated with the university or college. Working on campus can mean working for the university or college itself, a faculty member (as a research assistant, for example), yourself (self-employed, working on campus), a student group, or a private contractor offering services on campus, such as a gym or restaurant.

It’s worth noting that even though you intend to work while studying in Canada, you’ll always need to show that you have enough money when applying for a study permit. This means you must demonstrate that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself through your studies without working. The fact that you plan to work while studying in Canada would not fulfill the requirement to demonstrate financial ability prior to arrival.

Your study permit will specify whether or not you are allowed to work in Canada and under what conditions. This statement allows you to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) from Service Canada; acquiring a SIN is a necessary step before you can start working in Canada while studying.

If the sentence you need to apply for a SIN is absent from your study permit, you can have it changed for free. Although you can do this after you return, it is much easier to do so when you first arrive and receive your study permit. If there is something on your study permit that you are uncertain about, you should ask the officer about your permission to work when you arrive at Immigration.

If your study program is less than six months long or if you are participating in an English as a Second Language (ESL) or French as a Second Language (FSL) program, you are not permitted to work in Canada unless you have received special permission. Furthermore, when studying in Canada, visiting or exchange students at a DLI are not allowed to work. It’s important to keep in mind that you can’t start working in Canada until you’ve started your studies.

Let’s now take a look at the full list of universities in Canada tuition fees:
